Recessed single lever mixer with top outlet

Concealing the valve body behind tiling is the point of a recessed mixer: only a slim trim plate shows in the finished wall, with the temperature and flow control and all three G1/2in connections sitting inside a chased recess. Tubico builds this one in 316L stainless steel rather than the chrome-plated brass most recessed valves use, so the parts left permanently inside a wet wall cavity will not corrode if condensation ever reaches them. The outlet feeds upward, direct to an overhead shower arm.

Key features

• Single lever sets temperature and flow together, with no separate on/off tap needed
• Top outlet feeds an overhead arm directly, without routing pipework back down the wall
• Trim plate covers roughly 65mm, small enough to sit flush in most tile grids
• 316L stainless steel stays corrosion-free even where a chased recess traps residual damp

Specification and installation

Fitting requires a chased recess deep enough for the valve body and its three G1/2in connections, finished flush with a trim plate around 65mm across; the visible face reduces to roughly 45mm at the control itself. Because the outlet exits upward, first-fix pipework should run to the top of the recess rather than out to a spout. Specify Brushed for a plain finish or one of three PVD colours to match the Volga range's exposed taps.
